1. Outlook

I am running for the HCoop Board of Directors in 2015. I am passionate about free software, but using free software (particularly for network services) means taking on an increasing administrative burden. I believe that the cooperative is a solution to this problem because we can pool our resources and only have to solve each problem once. Also, working with others is more enjoyable than working by myself. I am running to strengthen the cooperative and to help other members solve their computing problems.

2. Qualifications

• TriLUG Steering Committee Member

• TechServ treasurer

• Knowledge of Kerberos and AFS
• System administration experience with Debian

3. Ideas

• More Services

  • OwnCloud

  • OpenID

• Improved documentation on the use of our tools and how to contribute
• Improved managed application deployment
• Targeted computing solutions, such as a set of applications and configuration that could be meet the needs of artists looking for a web presence, inventory system, etc.
• HCoop-ized workstations

Thanks for reading this far. Please contact me if you have any questions. I am particularly interested in computing problem that you would like HCoop to solve.
